ok... I don't know, baby showers are pretty much about the gifts, food, chatting about babies, etc. [ Reply | More

thanks. i thought so. the only other special surprise i have for her seem like it wont work out. got the recipe for her favorite desert from the chef at the restaurant we had it at and the caterer wants to chage me a rediculous amt per person ($9) to make it. i really would love to surprise her with it but that seems over the top. and there is noooo way i could make it myself, its way too involved. thanks for the input.

$9/pp for a dessert isn't that bad in my opinion. I would just do it, unless you're having 30 people [ Reply | More

probably having 25 ppl. it is an individual desert per person, not something that gets cut up. thank though for helping me rationalize doing it. i really want to and probably secretly hoping someone would tell me its not that bad. can i ask your opinion about something else????? i mentioned she is into the celebrity baby thing. i was thinking about getting that paparazzi for hire, what do you think? they would come take pics and video of her arriving and asking her questions asking her to pose. i just thought it sounded fun. it would be more fun if we were out in public vs in a neighborhood but still fun.

sorry, I think that sounds totally cheesy. Get the dessert, a nice photo book and have someone take digital pics, then share them with everyone and make up a book for the mtb. [ Reply | More

not OR, but I think it's cute, if she would be into a lot of attention. (It wouldn't be my thing though) [ Reply | More

have everyone write down their favorite baby advice and make it into a book, it will make it more personal. [ Reply | More
